MARY CAROLAN'S. Irish, Reel. D Mixolydian ('A' part) & D Dorian ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB.

Source for notated version: fiddler Mary Carolan, a student of New York fiddler and accordion player John McGrath (1900-1955). Carolan had the tune from McGrath, but had no title for it, so O'Malley named it for her [O'Malley].

Printed sources: O'Malley (Luke O'Malley's Collection of Irish Music, vol. 1), 1976; No. 20, p. 10.
